Silver prices plummet, people line up to buy phieu in order
Recorded by Lao Dong reporter on October 18, domestic silver prices decreased simultaneously. However, at many stores in Hanoi, the number of customers looking to buy silver is still very large, causing many businesses to fall into a state of overload, having to limit the quantity sold or announce that they are out of stock.
At a gold and silver shop on Tran Nhan Tong Street (Hanoi), Mr. Ngo Van Duong (Hai Ba Trung Ward, Hanoi) said that he had come here many times but could not buy because the staff announced that they were out of stock.
"The store announced that each person can only buy a maximum of 5kg of silver. I arrived at 8:40 a.m. but by then the goods were out of stock and the vouchers were no longer distributed. The store only accepts transactions with customers who already have coupons or pre-arranged invoices" - Mr. Duong said.
Along Tran Nhan Tong street, while many people lined up to buy but could not, a person appeared right next to the store selling silver shopping vouchers.
"You can buy this voucher right away, you don't have to queue anymore, the selling price is 100,000 VND/voucher" - this person informed. See more...
